Guitar Pedals

So, I just bought my first guitar pedal, a Behringer OD100
Overdrive/ Distortion, for general sound-fuckery purposes.
Cost me $35AUD which seems reasonable to me. I don't have a
guitar, I'm just going to use it to mess with audio in my
live set-up. Anyone else got a OD100?

What guitar pedals do you own? Which ones would you
recommend? Which ones would you avoid?

Yes I do have that pedal, actually. It is pretty amazing for
the price. I use it practically all the time with my guitar
turned down to a subtle crunch.

I think these Behringer ones are excellent and I'd recommend
them for sure. You should get a delay pedal if you haven't
got one, they are superb if you want to experiment with
messing up sound. I hear that Behringer are releasing one in
the same range, so it will be stupidly cheap. I have a
Digitech one which is good but it did cost a lot.

I use my Behringer rack-mounted effects unit for delay at
the moment, but would like a delay pedal for sure. I've
just started trawling pawn shops, so i'll wait untill I see
something cheap.

I'm glad to hear you recommend the OD-100. I really didn't
know what I was buying, quality-wise. I wasn't too worried
though, just need to up the noise a bit :)

Yeah apparently the technology in the Behringer pedals is
quite innovative, they've found a way to emulate the
circuitry of expensive pedals, for a fraction of the cost.
If I can remember right, they had to change around the
colours of the range because they looked and sounded the
exact same as the Boss pedals (which are about 3 times more
expensive at least). So yeah they're pretty hot.

i've got:

- 2 ProCo Rat (one broken)
- MXR Distortion+
- MXR Dynacomp
- 2 Big Muff Pi (one green, one black, both russian)
- Maestro Boomer 2 wah
- Boss GE-7 EQ
- Boss ODB-3 Bass OD
- Boss PH-2 Super Phaser
- Ibanez SF10 Swell Flanger
- orange pedal my friend built
- alesis metavox

i probably have a few more that i can't remember right now.

i had a DOD tube overdrive, but i took it apart and didn't
bother putting it back together.

i modded my black big muff, adding a three-button controller
to switch sound modes. i can't even really describe the
sound of it, it's just crazy.

hmmmmm, that would be cool........ i wouldn't mind so much
if i wrecked it, given the price I paid........ where would
I find instructions to circuit bend the OD100 in particular?

I haven't kept up with this shit in years, but I think
analog is the best for this sort of thing.. especially for
distortion/overdrive and pitch shifting effects. The most
unique and warm sounding pitch shifter is definitely the
original Wh-1 digitech whammy pedal, which was analog. but
they go for ungodly prices now because of bitchasses like
radiohead, etc..

Some other nice/bank-busting shit:

lovetone
paradox flange
zvex
frostwave
